(12,088 posts)Well it seems that the ones who give the Republican party huge amounts of campaign loot are a handful of filthy-rich American capitalist.
They are usually old white men who favor Nazi values. They are radical Christians who want Christianity to rule the US as law.
If the Republican donors so easily broke our political and governmental systems. Then anyone could have done it, as long as they had a lot of loot or capital. It just happened to be a corrupted political party.
But the Federalist Society, and their capital providers and supporters the Koch Bros., certainly participated in making a double standard judicial system. And they could have broken our systems by themselves if given more time.
The NRA was also a huge contibuter to the destruction of American systems. Their vast wealth and capital seems to have come from Putin and gun runners. If their illegal connections and misappropriations had not been exposed, they could have easily broken our systems by themselves.
What do all three groups have in common? Access to vast amounts of wealth. More wealth and capitol than a small country has.
What I am saying is that our capitalist system is to blame. It allows for capital's unlimited accumulation and control over every function in society. This easily corrupted economic system has set democracy up for destruction and taken it to the brink of fascism.
Let's hope we can pull it back.
